I have a bunch of tables in Access. One of the fields has a significant amount of characters in each cell (>30,000) When I try to export this table to excel the extra characters get cut off due to the cell limitations by excel.

Im looking for a way to either splice the cells in access or somehow get around the cell limitations in excel. Is this possible to do using SQL or query so I can replicate for many rows/tables?

Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.

Silly question maybe, but why do you have fields with 30K+ characters in them?

What type of data is it?

Perhaps you should be considering parsing in some way anyway, ie not just for export/import.
